Justify the reason you chose this
project and the main ideas to develop
it.
JUSTIFICATION
“Pollinator Conservation in the Bogotá Savannah" is
crucial because of the importance of pollinators in
biodiversity and agriculture.
This project will not only help conserve these species
but will also educate the community about their
importance and promote sustainable practices.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE
Conserve and promote pollinator biodiversity in the Bogotá savannah through the
development of a mobile application that facilitates the identification, monitoring and
education about pollinator species and local flora.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE
1. Identification and Documentation of Species
Create a detailed database
of the main species of
pollinators and flora in the
Bogotá savannah.
Provide educational
information about the
importance of pollinators
and the threats they face.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE
1. Education and Awareness
Promote sustainable and
environmentally friendly
practices among application
users.
Identify and promote the
cultivation of native plants
that benefit pollinators.
Urban expansion, intensive agriculture, and pesticide use in the
Bogotá Savanna have reduced habitats and food sources for
pollinators such as bees, butterflies and
hummingbirds. This impacts biodiversity, agricultural
production, and ecosystem services. The lack of awareness and
protective measures worsens the situation, making it urgent to
implement conservation strategies such as sustainable farming
practices, habitat restoration, and environmental education.

Define objectives, which people
our project would be useful to,
and gather information about
hummingbirds and their role in
pollination.
FEBRUARY 17 - 28 → PLANNING.
Create the idea of the app
format and organize how the
information about bees and
their interaction with plants will
be stored.
04 - 14 MARCH→ DESIGNING THE
APPLICATION.
add information with a focus on
butterflies and their ecological
importance also make sure it
works properly
Review that the application works
correctly, fix possible design
errors and test it as a user needs
it, we will also add data
information about pollinating bats
and how to conserve them in the
Bogotá savannah.
our project timeline.
MARCH 17 - APRIL 4 → IMPLEMENT THE
PROGRAMMING OF THE MOBILE APPLICATION.
APRIL 07 - 21 →TESTING AND
CORRECTIONS.
Publicize and present the
outcome of the project
highlighting the importance of
pollinating beetles and their
lesser known role in ecosystems.
APRIL 28 - MAY 27 → PRESENT THE POLLINATOR
CONSERVATION APPLICATION IN THE BOGOTÁ SAVANNA.
